Quorum Strategic Partner Alliance

Quorum may be a Science Center program, but it belongs to the region. Our Strategic Partner Alliance includes nonprofit organizations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware that share our commitment to supporting innovation, entrepreneurship and tech-based economic development.

Quorum DROP-IN Lounge

The Quorum Lounge is a free informal drop-in space open to the public Monday-Friday, 8:30 am-5 pm. The Quorum Lounge offers soft seating areas for casual conversation and work stations with plug-and-play LCD screens. Garage Offices have conference tables that seat four to six people. Quorum is equipped with free wifi, more white boards than walls, and – perhaps most importantly – free coffee!

Use of the Quorum Coworking Lounge is on a first-come, first-served basis. Users are asked to sign in.

Initially, I was attracted to Quorum because it was free and the location next to major universities was great. However, I quickly realized that the support that was available and the network I can build for myself far exceeded my expectations.
